USA Pan Pullman Loaf Pan, 9 x 4 x 4, Aluminized Steel

Pans looked like they would of been great, but no protective packaging for an international order means they are scratched and dented. One torn paper bag is not enough packaging for this kind of item

Una vez que logras averiguar la capacidad de masa (específico a tu tipo de masa y fermentación) los moldes pullman funcionan de maravilla. Importante es aceitar o engrasar también la tapa para evitar adherencia y al destapar rasgar tu pieza de pan, también es importante considerar que si tiene un lado para deslizar la tapa, ya que al hacerlo de una forma puede sentir resistencia a la mitad del molde y si se cambia de lado deslizara fácilmente

These are worth what they cost. They're very high quality, thick alumunised steel.I've been baking bread a fair while now and if you've never tried 'pain de me'/pullman bread - you should!It's about as close to store bought bread as you're going to get

These pullman pans arrived in pretty good shape; one lid arrived with small dent that doesn't influence performance in any way. I wasn't sure I'd need two; but when I make yeasted bread, it's usually two loaves. I've made several of my tried and true recipes so I could compare to the also expensive gold t. pans from you know where that I love but that are sometimes just a bit too small.I am smitten with straight sided loaves, and these pans turn out razor sharp corners! Some people get cranky about folded-corner pans because they don't want to spend time on cleaning. If that's you, get over yourself :) and take five seconds to run a wooden toothpick along the interior folds (of ALL of your baking pans). These are truly a breeze to clean. The rolled top edges are very tight so allow plenty of drying time tipping them in ways that'll encourage water to run out.Mostly I don't think they need greasing except for a sticky quick bread. Or you can just use parchment. Do not grease the cover for any recipe no matter how sticky the dough.Yeast breads bake up using same time and temperature as usual; and the pans do offer an even bake, but the bottom and side crusts are a little more pale than those my gold t. pans produce. For sandwich-type loaves, once the interiors have come up close to temperature, I pop the loaves out, cover the tops with foil, and place them directly on the oven rack for 5-10 minutes to get a crisper, browner crust. Sugary yeast breads bake quite well; I'm very happy with how the crusts bake in these pans without any adjustment. Wet loaves like quick breads seem to take a bit longer to bake. If your oven tends to be "fast" these pans will help with over-browning. An instant read thermometer is useful when getting used to these pan, even if you've used your recipes for years in other pans, including the gold pans which are not much darker than these. I've never used the other USA bread pans, so I can't speak to whether or not they provide the same baking experience as the pullman pans.You can of course use these pans with or without their lids. They hold a well-sized loaf particularly those from older recipes when slightly larger 9" x 5" or 9 1/2" pans were common. Let the dough rise to 1/2 to 1" below the top of the pans, the dough will rise more but won't collapse or leak out when it hits the lid during baking. The lids slide easily into place and come off just as easily. They don't lock, but you can tell when they're in place properly.Since the allure of a pullman loaf pan is its straight sides, you can forgive them for not stacking. Nonetheless, if you buy the set of two they're not bad on space. I store one sort of tilted inside the other with their two lids propped between them and other pans.Since one of my pans did arrive with a dent, I'd advise you to check your pans over carefully for any damage to the metal or the finish. Sometimes I see that people have been unhappy with how silicone-coated pans wear. I'd be seriously peeved and would post again if the finish were to not wear well. Overall I'm quite pleased especially with getting a sizable discount on buying the pair. A necessity? Not in the least, but if you make this little splurge opt for the set of two and get their lids as well so you can get more use out of them.

Didn't think I needed these before because I already have normal loaf tins. But when baking shokupan for sandos being able to get square slices is such a joy. I bought two pullman loaf pans and used them to bake bread. The bread loaves came out beautifully. Great pans for the job!

These pans are amazing, and make the perfect loaf of bread.My only complaint is I had to buy 2 and mom only wanted one.I was able to sell the other on marketplace very quickly though to someone else who didn't want to have to purchase 2.My advice to USA Pan and Amazon would be to offer the smaller 9x4x4 pan as a single item, similar to how they sell the 13x4x4 pan.Very sturdy, easy to clean, perfect shaped bread.Highly recommend anything from USA Pan.
